Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam

Question #: 27
Topic #: 8

Which of the following are characteristics that differentiate between a partnership relationship and traditional contracting relationships? Select THREE.

ALower costs

BNo tender process

CEarly supplier involvement

DSupplier KPIs

ENo defined end period

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C, E

The correct answers are; no tender process, early supplier involvement and no defined end-period. A partnership wouldn't automatically mean lower costs, and in a partnership the KPIs are usually a joint performance measurement rather than set to the supplier. For more information on the difference between partnerships and contractual relationships see p.124-5

Supplier KPIs seem more aligned with traditional contracts, so I’m hesitant about that one being a characteristic of partnerships.

I feel like the no tender process option might be relevant too, but I can't recall if that's always the case.

I remember something about partnerships not having a defined end period, which seems to fit here.

I think one of the key differences is early supplier involvement, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the only one.

I'm a bit unsure about some of these options, but I'll try to apply my understanding of partnerships to narrow down the best answers.

Okay, let me break this down. I know partnerships involve more collaboration and shared risk, so I'll look for options that reflect that.

Hmm, the organization has made some good progress in protecting PI, but it sounds like there are still some gaps. I'll need to weigh the extent of the remaining issues to decide if this is major or minor.

I'm leaning towards the access switch being the correct answer because of its role, but there were similar practice questions that confused me.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Cloud Pak has some logging and auditing capabilities, but I can't quite remember the specific service names. I'll have to think this through carefully.
